Current status of things

Here’s a quick post with the current status regarding Mineth Studios the past few months:

I (WaveHack) am still working on Multitroid, amongst some other minor projects. Progress is a bit slow due business with work.

AzMiLion is working on his Crash Viper game, which is (imo) looking really awesome so far. :3

Two people have joined the Mineth Studios team, both friends of both me and Az. These are Luminaflare and Power Metal Hank. Power Metal Hank is about to start working on his RPG projects and will hopefully blog occasionally about them.

An introduction of sorts.

I’m Luminaflare or LF for short, you may have seen me credited in the metafraxy project (I’m the original creator of those giant balls of doom among others) and more recently I’ve had some minor creative input on crash viper. I’m currently working on a few projects of my own but they are still in early development.

Also I’m British.

Moving servers, small downtime expected

Mineth.net will be moving servers in (hopefully) a few days and some of you might experience a few hours of downtime.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Words because of Words.

So yeah, WaveHack asked me to post a thing because i’ve been silent on the blog for a while now. this is mostly because i’ve been doing nothing interesting dev wise in a while and i probably won’t for a while so let’s just get on with it and ramble on about irrelevant stuff that no-one will ever read.

Somethingafwul

As some of you might know i read and post on Somethingawful occasionally and a interesting thing has happened there. someone broke the rules and posted a request for school help in the general forum, and promptly got mod challenged for it. a mod challenge is a challenge posted by a mod wich unless fullfilled end with your account being banned and costing you money to re-reg, as SA accounts cost 10 dollars. People started saying that they woud donate to the red cross and other charitys if the idiot got banned and it kind of got out of control, as of now. goons have donated 50,000 Dollars and the total i still rising by about 00 Dollar a day. So go goons!

Minecraft

By now this is a topic wich has come up on pretty much every gaming blog ever. Minecraft. a cute little sandbox that grew into a open world survival game wich has sold millions and has allow it’s creator, Markus Persson to start his own company, Mojang.

I personally enjoy both parts of the game, the old creative mode for building insane superstructures with my buddy Luminaflare and surviving out in the wilderness on randomly generated terrain in SMP on our private server. were I’ve settled in a town dubbed Creepertop. due to the sheer amount of creepers spawning there. The thing that interests me the most about minecraft is the emergent gameplay within it. from spleef to minecart racing, to building a song using music boxes.

In the future I hope to be actively developing modes for games and content for multitroid again, once my studies calm down a bit and holidays have started. but my current priorities lie not with Mineth Studios but with my study, so back into radio silence I go. See you later internet!

New website launched!

Finally, it’s here! A new (and proper) look to the site. For the past year, we’ve been using the White as Milk template. Partially because we thought it was a decent template, and partially because (back then) we were too lazy to brew up something more stylish. But from today on, we’re using a customized version of Arras, which is basically a free and very customizable WordPress theme. Be sure to check it out if you (plan to) run a WordPress site!

Only a few posts made it over to the new site, though. We didn’t feel it was necessary to copy over all the old content, because a lot of stuff is redundant by now and doesn’t really add any value whatsoever (about how good we are at breaking WordPress installations and regarding avatars in comments, etc). That being said, we’ll try to update more often. Not only about projects, but also in general and random stuff.

Also, did I mention the technical aspect of the site got a good overhaul? We’ve rebuilt it! It’s now faster, stronger and less explodie! One small downside though is that due technical changes, most of the old links to visit certain sections of the site are now changed (or just completely broken). Categories have been changed and pages have been added. A lot of redundant crap on the technical side also has been reduced and it should be less daunting and intimidating to browse the site now. Please be wary that we’re adjusting small things here and there, and that you could see some changes on the site.

Speaking of pages, we now have a proper About page which reflects what this site is about exactly. In short, it’s a combination of our personal blogs and our projects (including Multitroid)! For more info, see the About page.
